Overview
Accelerating Semiconductor Innovation with Next-Generation Metrology
Headquartered near Oxford, Infinitesima is a pioneering technology company spun out of the University of Bristol in 2001 by its CTO, Professor Andrew Humphris. Infinitesima’s expert team of engineers and scientists is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of semiconductor performance by delivering breakthrough metrology solutions to leading fabs worldwide.
As the complexity of semiconductor devices grows - with nodes shrinking and 3D architectures evolving - accurate, high-speed, sub-nanometer metrology becomes mission-critical. From AI and 5G to autonomous systems and next-gen mobile, the pace of innovation depends on the ability to precisely measure and control nanoscale features in real-time production environments.
Infinitesima’s Rapid Probe Microscope (RPM) is a game-changing solution developed specifically to meet these challenges. Leveraging a novel thermal-optical actuation mechanism combined with interferometric sensing, the RPM achieves picometer-scale precision at speeds over 10x faster than conventional AFM systems. Already validated by top-tier semiconductor companies, RPM is poised to become a key enabler of advanced node scaling and yield improvement.
